Gutmensch (good human in German) is a sardonic, sarcastic cultural term similar to its English counterparts: do-gooders, SJWs, or Woke. Those who use the term are implying that Gutmenschen, or people who practice Marxist-progressive liberal activism, disingenuously appear to be good and pretend to seek approval—further showing to suggest a supposed moralizing and proselytizing behavior and acting dogmatic, while prioritizing "right" and "correct" attitude or sentiment for the sake of having a fake self-image only to make others view them as "good" people instead of having responsible, balanced, rational, realistic and reflected decisions. (AKA VIRTUE-SIGNALING BEHAVIOR and acting like a bitch over things that are better than them.)
